In celebration of the 100th day of school the West Plains Elementary held a penny drive to raise money for the Ozarks Honor Flight.  Originally, the goal was $700.00 but West Plains Elementary surpassed that with $1,161.41. The money will cover the full cost of one veteran and half the cost of a second veteran to visit the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., this summer.
